I want to point out, too, that in the magazine ad for BSG that is a
take on DaVinci's The Last Supper, there are:
1) only 12 characters versus the painting's 13 (12 apostles plus some
bearded guy who Baltar kinda resembles, but not in temperament)
2) two of them are #6 (Lucifer Six, as I call her, the one in the red
dress who's inside Baltar's head, standing at center, and Caprica Six
at the left)
3) Torri is NOT present
Who the hell knows what all THAT means?

LORELAI: I am so done with plans. I am never, ever making one again.
It never works. I spend the day obsessing over why it didn't work
and what I could've done differently. I'm analyzing all my shortcomings
when all I really need to be doing is vowing to never, ever make a plan
ever again, which I'm doing now, having once again been the innocent
victim of my own stupid plans. God, I need some coffee.
